The Reduced Shakespeare Company is a three-man comedy
troupe known for taking long, serious subjects and reducing them
into short, sharp comedies. They have created five stage shows, two
television specials, and numerous radio pieces.
This is radio comedy, fast and furious, smart and funny, taking
everything you learned in school, and turning it on its head. Educated
silliness which will bring out the guffaws.

 Radio
Show, Vol. 1: Romeo and Juliet / Hamlet
Take the Bard's two most famous plays, and throw them in a blender.
That approximates this hour of inspired audio insanity. Everything
you really need to know about Shakespeare in two easy to take episodes.
 Radio
Show, Vol. 2:
The Histories /
The Tragedies
Shakespeare's Plays can and do fill volumes -- and his histories
and tragedies represent a good portion of these volumes -- so why
not condense them into two half-hours? It's culture at warp speed
-- at a rate of one Richard every two minutes. Loads of fun!
 Radio
Show, Vol. 3:
The Comedies / Shakespeare's Little Known Trip To America
Shakespeare wrote 17 Comedies -- and the RSC condensed them all, with
more laugh's per minute, because, you know, speed counts. Plus, we
learn that Shakespeare secretly visited America, and of the influence
baseball, the Marx Brothers and Elvis had on the Bard

 The
Bible, Abridged
The Bible is the best selling book of all time. It is the basis of
three major religions. Wars have been fought over it. It is held
sacred by billions. And some hold it as the direct word of God. So
leave it to the RSC to turn it on its ear. Everything you need to
know about the Bible condensed into an hour of audio insanity.
